The composition of GPL staff follows the well-recognized Shamrock Model. This is an organizational model that increases competitiveness through optimal utilization of staff and maximum flexibility and is hence advantageous to all partners. Following the well-known Shamrock Model, workforce within GPL is divided into three categories:

Permanent (or full-time) Employees:  Including all home office staff as well as those of managerial rank in field. This category is responsible for operational continuity and safeguarding service quality levels.

Core Contract Personnel: Professionals frequently undertaking long-term assignments. Several individuals in this category have later become permanent employees.

 Short-term Personnel: Staff within infrequent fields of operation. Due to this arrangement, GPL has become known for its competence in the identification and procurement of short-term experts within a wide range of fields.
